At eight years of age he was seized with an irresistible desire to fly. This idea haunted him to such a degree that he decided to put it into practice.

He shut himself up In his study room, climbed up to the window and made the movements for flying in the air. He fell from a height of more than 16 feet and was sick for some time Tolstoi's Peculiar Mania. Later Tolstoi's particular brand of insanity prompted him to fall in love, not once, but threefold; for, having Interesting Happenings in the Various Cities and Towns of the State. ways suspected that he was possessed of a demon. He said he could feel it within him.

He used to pass entire weeks without speaking to anybody. Swift announced in his youth that he would go mad, and, as a matter of fact, he did. Some Curious Hallucinations. Edgar Allan Poe drank, as Baudelaire has said, "like a savage." He was subject to the most horrible hallucinations. Haller, the celebrated physiologist, believed he was being continually pursued by enemies.

He took enormous doses of opium. Newton became insane in hi3 old age. Beethoven, who always washed in ice water, "would lift it up with his hands, scolding all the while, and dash a quantity of water on his face and his hair without noticing that it made a pool on the floor, in which he splashed about like a duck." In connection with Prof. Grasset's work it is interesting to note that Dr. Henry S.

Grasset's remarkable book on the "demi-fous" leds to two very decided and consoling conclusions; first that all great men are more or less Insane; and, second, that It is not such a very dreadful thing to be long to the "demi-fous," after all There Is not, as Prof. Grasset points out, any way in which to draw a dis tinguishing line between sanity and insanity. The shades, or brands, of one overlap and are interwoven with the other to such a degree that it is impossible to show where the one ends and the other begins. In other words, you, for instance, can be both sane and insane at the same time perfectly sane on certain subjects, but insane, or partly so, on at least one other. There are so many brands of insanity that, fortunately, not all of us are in sane on the same subject.

"Between calm, cold reason and transport of passion," says Prof. Gras set, "between originality and eccen trlcity, between nervousness and agita- tion, between a person who is slightly touched and one who is demented there are all degrees of transition, and it is impossible to say where insanity begins." Admitting for the moment, then, that everybody is more or less insane, it is not a question of just how insane person is, but of the particular brand of insanity he has inherited or ac quired, says a writer in the New York Sunday World. The brands may be counted by the score. Some of them are of real value, especially to a man of genius. Others are useless, harmless or detrimental.

as the case may be. The erotomaniac, for Instance, falls In love. But that is not all. He may love two sisters with equal love at the same time and, no matter how hard he may try, he cannot make up his mind which to marry. It is impos sible for him to bear the thought that either of the young women he loves should become the wife of another.

He generally solves the problem by giving them both up and marrying a third. The Dipsomaniac Class. The dipsomaniac, who must not be classed with the habitual drunkard, suffers from an affliction which impels him to drink whenever an attack comes on. Then there are the kleptomaniacs Prof. Grasset describes them as "sick people who are driven in spite of themselves to take what does not be long to them, just as we have seen that the dipsomaniacs are driven by an irresistible power to drink Among other brands of semi-insanity may De mentioned sitomania, pyro- mania, monomania and megalomania, which are illustrated and briefly described.

Then there are other brands which are characterized by illusions. hallucinations, jealousy, conceit, boast- fulness, rashness, inertness, impulsive ness, timidity and many forms of ec centricity. Prof. Grasset declares that from childhood persons of unbalanced mind are apt to "draw attention to them selves by their precocity, their quick ness in taking hold of everything and understanding it, and at the same time by their whims, their headstrong ways, their cruel instincts, their violent and convulsive attacks of anger. When they become men they are queer, com plex, heterogeneous individuals, made up of contradictory qualities and faults.

They are often as highly gifted one line as they are lacking in an other. From the Intellectual point of view they sometimes possess the faculties of imagination, Invention and expression in a very high degree; that is say, they are gifted in speech, in the arts and In poetry." Those Who Are "A Little Off." The originals and eccentrics show lack of equilibration to a still greater degree. "These people," says Prof. Grasset, "are what the public would describe as 4a little off' on some one subject; they either have some peculiar habit or wear some odd style clothes or have a queer manner of wearing their hair or of walking or writing or speaking. It may be either strange gesture, a form of speech, a or a grievance.

The eccentricity often shown by an imperious or obsessional tendency, as, for example, surround oneself with birds or flowers or cats; to collect uninteresting objects, particularly articles of wearing apparel, such as cravats, hats, footwear or wrappers of every style and color, or to be absorbed In researches and calculations and ridiculous Inventions." But, after all, semi-insanity in some forms has its advantages. Many world-famous men poets, mathema ticians, philosophers, historians, writers, statesmen and scientists would probably never have been heard but for that one little streak of in sanity which lent luster and impetus ther minds and prompted them to accomplish something of tremendous value to mankind. For instance, "Tolstoi belongs to" the that their backs would look like bowlders just protruding from the stream. Then a pair of magnificent antlers would come up, and the water would be shaken out of the big ears with a flapping noise that could be heard for a quarter of a mile, and then the big, long muzzle would be leisurely chewing a dripping mouthful water lily leaves and other plants gathered from the bottom. So intent were the huge animals on gathering flowers that several times naturalist could row up close enough to secure a good photograph before they splashed noisily back to shore and disappeared in the black spruce.

When the moose find a good lily pond they continue feeding It until the plants are almost exterminated. The Sunday Magazine. Solve Life's Problems. To resolutely and tenderly, day after day, commend ourselves to the hand God, to do our best, to decide as simply and sincerely as possible what path should be, and then leave issue humbly and quietly with God. The Upton Letters.

A to a at to a met the three daughters of Dr. Berce, he "began by being very much taken by the oldest, then he thought he was in love with the second, and finally fell in love with the third." The triple romance ended abruptly, for Tolstoi suddenly decided that instead of get ting married he would mow hay with the moujiks in a peasant's blouse. Ossip Lourie, who made a psycho logical study of many of the great Rus sian novelists of the nineteenth cen tury, summed up Tolstoi's case in the following way: "Tolstoi Is one of those rare men to whom the English aphorism, 'They are certainly cracked, but the crack lets in light, might apply. In a word Tolstoi was a semi-insane genius. Even Socrates must have had streak of insanity him, for he "went into ecstacies which were almost cata leptic fits.

At table, or in the streets of Athens, or in the camps, he would suddenly stop short, sometimes with out motive. At other times, on the oc casion of a sneeze either by himself or one of his neighbors, he would act, or would not act, according to whether the sneeze had taken place on his right hand or on his left" Insanity of Some Great Men. Fror. Grasset cites the cases of many other great men of past and present times whose brands of In sanity were manifested in various ways. Pascal, for instance, "could not stand seeing water without falling into a perfect fit of passion." Then Au guste Comte who has exerted a vast and lasting Influence on the philo sophical position of the savants of the ninetenth century, "was undoubtedly semi-insane when he was not wholly insane.

He wrote incoherent letters While he was taking a walk one day he wanted to drag his wife with him into the Lake d'Enghein. During his meals he would try to drive his knife into the table, like Walter Scott's Highlander, and he would order the succulent back of a pig and recite bits of Homer." Of Gorki, Prof. Grasset writes that he "made an attempt to commit sui cide at the age of 18 and belongs to the category of the. semi-insane who have been termed vagabonds or wan derers." Guy de Maupassant died insane. He had often confessed to Paul Bourget that he frequently saw his double.

In going into his own room he would see himself seated upon his own sofa. The roots of his disease "seemed to be confused with the very qualities of his talent" Villemain had ideas of perse cution. Jean Jacques Rousseau was successively clockmaker, mountebank, music master, painter and servant. and then followed the paths of medi cine, music, theology and botany. He used to meditate bareheaded in the sun at midday.

He fell In love at 11. He would suddenly depart from, an inn, leaving his trunk behind him Gerard de Nerval, the political writer and poet, was subject to hallucina tions. He would be found on the street corner, his hat in his hand, lost in a sort of ecstacy. In the Tuileries he saw the goldfish In the big fountain putting their heads out of the water trying to entice him to follow them to the bottom. The queen of Sheba was waiting for him, they said.

He was found at the Palais Royal dragging a live lobster along at the end of a blue ribbon. He tried to fly like the birds, and one day at a moment, in one of the streets of Paris, when he waited with his arms spread out for his soul to mount to a star, he was gathered in by a gendarme "because he had prepared for this ascension by taking off his terrestrial garments." Freaks of Men of Genius. Baudelaire dyed his hair green. He was an epicure of odors, and used to say that his soul soared upon perfumes as the souls of other men soared upon music. One day after throwing a traveling glazier downstairs and breaking every pane of glass Baudelaire ex claimed: "The beauty of life! The beauty of life." He declared later that he experienced at that moment an "in finite Joy," because he was not yet in sane, at least, not officially so.

The case of Alfred de Musset, who was restless visionary and slightly maniacal," is most interesting. In the Cafe de la Regence It was his habit to order a plate of cigars and a frightful mixture of beer and absinthe, which he would swallow In a gulp. Then De Musset would settle himself solidly against the back of the divan and light one cigar after another until the plate was empty. At half-past eleven the waiter would hail a cab, lead the poet by the arm, and put him safely into the vehicle. He Would let himself be taken quietly to his house, where his old nurse put him to bed like a child.

Even the great Napoleon had his particular brand of insanity. He believed in presentiments and horoscopes, as is well known, and Prof. Grasset says further he "suffered from habitual twitching of the right shoulder and of the lips." Zola used count the number of gas Jets in the streets, the numbers on the doors and chiefly the numbers on cabs. Balzac had an ambulatory mania. One evening, when he had put on a handsome new dressing gown, he wanted to go into the street with it on and with a lamp in his hand to excite the admira tion of the public.

Schopenhauer al MEAN MAN'S GREAT SCHEME. Boasts How He "Works" Deluded Wife. His Poor Two men were standing together in corridor of a post office. One of them happened to notice that a post card, held in the fingers of the other, was addressed to the holder. "Why, what does this mean?" he asked.

The bids wm av The erotomaniac who loves two young women, often sisters, with equal love at the same time. He can't bear to marry either, knowing that the other adored one may become the wife of some other man. The monomaniac is insane on one subject only, generally the invention of a perpetual motion machine, or some other contrivance which defies every known law of mechanics. On every other subject he is perfectly rational.

The dipsomaniac suffers from a disease which makes him drink whenever an attack comes on. He should not be confounded with the habitual drunkard. The megalomaniac is the founder of queer religions and sects. He in- vents new doctrines and beliefs and strives to win converts to his way of thinking, generally with a small degree of success. The sitomaniac has ungovernable impulses to eat.

Sitomania is a disease, a mild form of insanity, and the sufferer feels impelled to eat at all times and hours, no matter whether he is hungry or not. The kleptomaniac, who is driven in spite of herself to take what does not belong to her. I omaniacs show great skill and employ many clever ruses in their thefts. The pyromaniac has strong impulses to set buildings on fire. Neither vicious-ness nor a desire for revenge prompts his actions, but just a longing to start big conftagra-Jto tions.

MOOSE AS FLOWER PICKERS. Monarchs of the Forest Revel Luxuriant Lily Ponds. in At first thought it would appear im possible that such large, gaunt denizens of the forest as moose could in anyway be interested in flowers. They are, however, exceedingly fond of feeding on all kinds of water lilies. Few people know that these flowers grow from thick snakelike rootstocks which are so firmly attached to the bottom that the strongest man cannot loosen them.

It is from these firmly moored rootstocks that the much admired leaves and flowers strive toward the light A well-known naturalist, who studied the habits of the animals in northern Minnesota, where moose are more numerous than In any other part of the world, often found two or three big bulls engaged in gathering their morning meal on the lake bottom. The (great beasts would slowly stalk about in three or four feet of water and often their heads would be under wa Iter for half a minute at a time, so 3 a in to of a tie is to of of the the in of our the women out in small parties to visit the department stores and particularly the bargain counters to do some shop ping. The insane women were in charge of keepers, but gave no trouble, The patients purchased with a keen regard of appearance and value, just as their normal sisters were buying all about them. Apparently the sales- women noted nothing unusual in their demeanor. Dr.

Atkins said that such recreation as that afforded by a day in the stores is a valuable part of the treatment for the insane. Just as normal persons are better merry than moody, so, he says his charges are improved by any thing that pleasantly occupies their minds while not at the same time ex citing their nerves. AND THEN HE WENT AWAY. Money for His Found in Sandwich Could Slot Machine. Be A man with an eight-day beard.

which grew listlessly over his features in unrestrained fashion, wandered into a modest little restaurant. It was one of those places where one can buy a light lunch, and if he is musically in clined can drop a coin in the music box and have classical or popular mel odies to soothe him while eating. The man with the eight-day beard looked first at the lunch counter and then at the big music box. Then he looked at the three or four small coins which he had drawn from his pocket He had a hankering for music, and he decided to go and tackle the throat of the musical machine with a five-cent piece. But the nickel got lodged in the esophagus of the machine and there wasn't a note to be heard.

The man gave the machine a shake, but still it didn't swallow the nickel. Then the man went over to the coun ter and bought a roast-beef sandwich He ate it leisurely until the last bito was stuffed into his countenance. The man behind the counter came up with an expectant air With ihs mouth still partly filled with the sandwich, the man eating pointed his thumb over his shoulder in the di rection of the machine. "You'll find the money for this in there," he ex plained. And then he went away.

New York Press. WIPED ENGLAND OFF THE MAP. Unexpected Result of a Dinner Given by a British Diplomat in Bolivia. "Bolivia is the only country that ever wiped England off the map," said Frank Roberson. "It came about this way: The British ambassador sev eral years ago gave a dinner for the official and social circle people of Bo livia.

"When they arrived at the embassy they found that he was not married to tne woman seated at tne neaa or the table and they left. In the name of his government he demanded an apology, whereupon the government gave him 24 hours to get out of the country. Inasmuch as little Bolivia is way off the ocean and practically lost In the eternal mountains Great Britain could not, by guns, get the retraction that she wanted. But her mapmakers got revenge by issuing maps wholly eliminating Bolivia. "Finally this information reached Bolivia, whereupon, with a stroke of the pen, new maps were ordered for the Bolivian government and the Bolivian schools.

They showed more ocean than any other maps ever printed. The British isles had been sunk Into the sea. And so far as the people and school children of Bolivia are concerned there is no Great Brit ain." Indianapolis 'News. Ice in Dentistry. The first use of ice in dental opera tions was in what the public term the freezing system." This application is still in use in provincial towns, but it has for several years past been dis continued in London and other large cities.

The first use of Ice in this way was in America. The ice was cut up fine. placed in small bags so shaped as to fit each side of the jaw and the wretched patient held these In his mouth until the desired temperature was reached, when the operator ex tracted the offending molar or molars. To-day cold air is pumped into the mouth with more effect and without any of the pain and inconvenience that must have attended the more primitive style.
